I had a blood test done today that confirmed that I am 4 weeks pregnant!!! This will be my first child and I'm super excited!! I really like the idea of being someone's mommy. hehe I'm already having terrible headaches though, throbbing ones. Anyone else have bad headaches while pregnant??

Well, I just found out that she has her period yesterday.. shucks.. oh well.. back to the 'ol drawing board.. But don't get me wrong, I told her that she shouldn't feel bad because I'm not at all disappointed at her. I love her so much! :D

I have never been pregnant before, nor have I heard of headaches as a symptom, but I suppose it does happen. I had a splitting headache yesterday, but it didn't come from pregnancy (I'm not pregnant and my husband's been snipped), but that headache was a real doozy. Anyway, congratulations on your wonderful and exciting news. My cousin is also pregnant!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I never had headaches during my pregnancies (I have 4 children) but I had terrible migraines after the birth of my third child. I coulddn't sleep for days and my OB/GYN took one look at me through the little window at the front desk and called me right back. That was unusal and wonderful of her to do so. Anyways, she gave me some medicine and that helped. I slept and slept. And that helped immensely. Hang in there and rest as much as you can! Again, congratulations! [i][b] Have a great day and happy myLotting!!![/b][/i]

Thanks schulzie, I've had migraines since I was 14 yrs old so I am pretty used to them, I guess I am just worrying more because I have a little one growing inside me now and more worried about the baby than myself.. hehe. take care!

grats on being a mommy. try to read a lot of books about pregnancy, it'll help you along the way. don't mind the headaches and the nausea that comes along. it'll be all worth it once you've seen your baby. do eat right and get lots of rest and sleep. remember, ou're not just watching after yourself, you're watching after your baby as well. cheers!!!

Yeah I have read about taking meds... I have to take 2 Rx's so I am kind of in the high risk catagory but they are very low dosages.... but I am doing everything I can to make sure it all goes well.

Congratulations! I've never had bad headaches while I was pregnant with either of my kids. Hopefully someone on here can help you with that, if they haven't already. Do you want to have a boy or a girl? Or do you not care so long as the baby is healthy? Either way I wish you a smooth pregnancy.

That is such wonderful news. I was so excited every time I found out I was pregnant. I didn't get the headaches, that would have been horrible on top of the morning sickness. Being a Mommy is the best thing in the world, as far as I'm concerned.
